INTERESTING HAYWOOD COUNTY ITEMS
Our much respected friend Mr.. d. V.
McCracken writes US that the farmers in
his section are doing well, and that
peaches are not killed, apples not hurt;
there is a less acreage of tobacco, and a
large quantity of plants killed by freezing.
Mr.. McCracken gives us some interest

of the county. Among the first settlers,
who came in between 1902 and 1910,
were the families of the McDowells, Nc

[For the AsheviIle CITIZEN
THAT BUTTER BUSINESS.

Editors Citizen "A question is never
properly discussed until both sides have
a hearing. This butter business has
been uncommoniy well thrashed out
from the consumers point of view, and
the poyr Buncombe farmer, who has
never yet said word, has been pretty
severely handled. We are poor shift
less morals, it is true, but in the matter
of butter we are notso much to blame
as at first sight appears II is well
enough known that there il butt not
to mention oleomargarine. You Mr..
Editor also know (for an editor knows
everything) what the general public
have yet to learn, that there are severa,
kinds of good butter. A very fair quail
ity can be made from ensilage or fodder
with the addition of a little BRAN By
adding to the cows bill of fare as much
corn meal as she will eat freely you do
not increase the quantity of butter much,
but you give to it that fine nutty flavor
30 much priced by connosseurs, and
to the value Of it at least fifty per cent.
Now from what has been appearing
lately one would imagine there would
be no difficulty in disposing of any guam
tity of such butter in AshevilIe. But let
me give you little history: We keep a
few COWS, two of which are always giving
milk. We feed corn meal and bran con-
stantlY and make what is admitted to be.
first class butter. For the last four years
we have supplied one family with lbs.
per week at thirty-five cents, but beyond
that have always had difficulty in get
ting as much as thirty cents, and butter
of that quality cannot be made at prof
it for less than thirty five.
In a famine of course good prices can
be had, but steady market is what is
wanted, and Asheville does not afford
that. At Christmas my wife received an
order from lady fo. four pounds week.
On the day after getting the order the
four pounds we're sent, but meantime
the lady had saved a few cents by buy
ing four pounds of greasy stuff for dol
lar, and our messenger had to bring the
butter home
Stimulated by your articles, we re-
solved to increase our stock to six COW
ut least, but prudeptly made inquiries
first about market. Would you believe
it sirs that althorgh W called at the
hotels and every likely place in Asheville
we could not tind a single soul, save and
except your friend Bill Ne, who would
promise to take butter regularly at thir-
ty-fve cents pound? So 1T seems to
me that the Buncombe farmer is not SO
stupid as he looks. Yours, etc,

Look AHEAD.

LOOK AHEAD.
The rapid advance in the pros
perity and population of Ashe-
vile is due to the combination
of many circumstances. The
great beauty of its surrounding
scenery and the healthfulncss of it's
climate were chief and primary in.
ducements, utilized fully when
made accessible to the great busi-
ness prospects which opened under
the:acknowledged centrality ofiloca-
ton and the absolute certainty that
it was an inevitable focus of several
important lines of road which would
connect it by the shortest routes
with every part of the country.
But it is not to be denied that
certain internal conditions were
needed to the expedition of de-
velopment. There is no growth
without the use of capital; and there
will be no use of capital without
confidence in its security. The
stationary condition of Asheville
for three quarters of century, with
the same climate and the same
scenery, is proof of this. 1t is true,
that for greater part ofthat period
the gates to access were closed but
when they were thrown open, there
was no capital awaiting outside to
flow in spontaneously. 1t awaited
invit tion, it awaited encourage
ment, and it demanded security g.
This it has had during the past four
years under an honest, a judicious,
and sagacious municipal adminis~
tration. 1t is within this period
that the most rapid strides forward
have been made. 1t is within this
period that the character which
fixes confidence at home and abroad
has been established.
Now do not jeopardize this ; do
not shake the confidence OF the
present, do not cloud the prospects
of the future, by ill-advised meas
ures relating to the choice of anoth-
er administration. Everything de-
pends upon wisdom n.the selection
of such administration. The pres
ent is deeply involved in il; it is of
most vital consequence to the fus
ture. Offices are not the footballs
of party; places are not the stakes
for which politicians alone are to
play. The government of a city is
a. matter of business, not of politics.
Good men, judicious men, safe and
cautious men, sagacious men, are
what are demanded for the time a
time when the city stands on the
very threshold of its development.
Shall it recede, stand still, or adj
vance? And this depends on the
wisdom of present action.

EXCITING RUNAWAY.

EXCITING RUNAWAY.
Yesterday morning about eleven g.

the subjects of high temporary excite

ster's wagons broke loose from the team
at one of the brick yards, tearing loose,
when he broke aWay.the cross bar which
fell at his heels. Tie faster he ran the
more the appendage beat his heels, and
he dashed through College street in the
very widest frenzy of terror. When he
turned into the Square, the impetus &C
quired was so great that he could not
control his direction, and ran against the
fence, breaking it from its fastenings
then turning, making one of the most
remarkable leaps we-ever saw made
clearing at bound the corner of the
fence which is of ornamental work
crowned wit h group of iron spear heads,
all of which he bent down to horizon.

AFFAIRS IN RALEIGH-FIRsT SHIP
MENT OF PEAS.
The Raleigh correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch, writing under
date of Wednesday, says:
The directors of the penitentiary
met this morning at the prison, and
were in session all day. The matter
of the recent mutiny was consider
ID. The convicts concerned in it
were ordered to be punished by close
confinement and bread and water
diet. The ringleaders are yet to be
more severely punished. The pun
ishment began to-day. Captain
Stamps, president of the board, says
that the convicts in rebellion are
now entirely submissive, Much of
the session of the board was devoted
to hearing applications for convicts.
Gentlemen from the eastern coun-
ties Of Brunswick, Sampson, Lenoir
and Carteret appeared and applied
for all the 325 convicts allowed
by the late Legislature for the
great scheme of canal and
road improvement in that &C.
ton, or in any event for enough to
carry on the work. The board in
formed these gentlemen that the
penitentiary was so cramped al to
finances that it would have to hire
out most of its tconvicts and could
not act in the matter at present, but
must first see how much it can OBJ
tain from the hire of outside con-
victs.
Thousands of false reports haye
been current through the city CON
corning the penitentiarY revolt
since Saturday night. One widely
current yesterday among negroes
was that Jim Dayis, the negro con-
vict who was by force disarmed,
died of his injuries. 1t was absolute
falsehood. Davis was discharged
from the hospital yesterday and
was again put at work.
The first box of peas was shipped
from Newberne Tuesday. The crop
will not be anything like the aver
age in size, yet much better than
WIS considered possible when the
frosts struck it.
